    My son passed away suddenly in his sleep three months ago, just two months before his 17th birthday. He was and always will be on my mind. This song has me in tatters remembering the two of us singing this song together while driving him to school when he was a little younger. Beautiful song, beautiful memories. I love you Andrew, wish we had more time...❤

    My dad died just over a year ago. This song, and Willie Nelson, were two of his faves. I've been hearing repeated reminders recently, to play this song. I know it's him, still loving me from the other side. As someone else here said, love never dies.

    My Mom unexpectedly passed in 2023. It was well before her time. My Dad wasn't a real romantic man and I think he regrets that, but Mom knew he loved her and she never doubted that. At my Mom's funeral, before they closed her casket for the final time, my Dad asked me and my brother to stay behind with him for a minute. Dad had the funeral home play this song overhead. My Daddy sung this entire song to my Momma. The pain and tears in his eyes were palpable and something I will never forget.
    Thanks Willie for this song 🎶 . Your song was my Dad's last gift to my Mom and it meant so much to him to be able to express every regret and painful emotion he felt wrapped up in one song. That entire day was a blur for me; however, standing over my mom's casket, seeing her for the last time, me holding my dad's hand while listening to him sing this final song to the love of his life, of 49 years, is one moment that'll be etched in my heart and soul until my last breath..... That horrible and gut wrenching day, my Dad showed me the true meaning of unconditional love in life and in death ❤
    I miss you Momma and I hope you are flying high with the angels 🌌. Rest easy for your work on earth is done 💜

    My wife and I went to Hawaii years ago and happened to notice a flyer tacked to the wall at the Concierge's desk about Willie Nelson. When I asked, he told me it to was support local talent, and was a last minute notice. It cost about 10 dollars, and featured several groups, some with and some wirthout much talent. BUT, then Willie came on with his crew and blew the the place apart. Folding chairs on the grass, maybe fifty feet from the man himself, for 10 bucks in Hawaii!!!!!!! Beat that!!!

    I lost my husband from a 3 year stroke and that was his song to me and we were married in 1982. He looked and could sing like Willie and the day hospice took him away, ask him to sing this one last time. He could barely speak but he sang, YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY MIND. I am constantly playing this song and I feel him with me! Thank you WILLIE NELSON

    My husband and I had some very rough times in our marriage. About 20 years ago he said this song is for me from him. He said he was sorry for all the hard times. He passed away 3 years ago and we had always loved one another. We were married 3 weeks shy of 50 years. I listen to this now and weep. I miss him so much and I am thankful that he used this song to help heal my heart and to show his love for me.

      As a father I've been through something similar in my son's earlier years. It's heartbreaking that there is an active participating father who's willing and able to be a part of a child's life and yet there are restrictions. I would never put those types of things on my child. The court system weaponizes children and that really sucks. I hope you don't give up or lose sight of the important things. Will pray for you.

    I'm so excited. I FINALLY get to take my 77 year old dad to see Willie play in concert in a few weeks. My pops and I have seen soo many concerts together but we never had been able to see Willie. He is 89 now and I am blown away that we even get this opportunity.

    Willie Nelson still reckons that Always on My Mind was the best song Elvis ever crooned. 'People are always telling me how well I sing Always on My Mind', declared Willie. 'But the plain truth is, it was always meant for Elvis. I only sang it myself as an afterthought and now I'm not allowed off a stage without performing it.

When my daughter kaylea was born in February of 1998 the Holy Spirit led me to sobriety in faith in Christ in Jesus saved me. Throughout the struggles I always thought about my daughter and what she was doing and how I can get back to her. This is my song to my daughter Kaylea.

      Lorelei,
      I always thought I had lost my mind because I have precognitions, or some such foresight things. I see things before they happen. The most odd of these images I have seen, and that always come to be, was not dissimilar to a reincarnation type of thing. I want you to understand. What has occurred will occur again and again to infinity. The so called "big bang" theory is just that, a theory. A misunderstood way of explaining our existence. It is pure bunk. It is hard to understand the time that is involved in these cycles because our minds cannot conceive such spans of time. You will repeat the sad situation of eight years ago. I am sorry to tell you that, but you are going to do what you have done again and again. It just takes time. You cannot change any of it. Look at the face of a clock. Round and round. Do not believe me if it seems crazy to you but you are going to see him exactly as you did before. In the same place and yes, the same time. It is okay. It is the reality of this thing we call existence. Big Wigs think they can monkey with numbers and explain how and why things occur or come to exist. They are wrong. If it is, it was, and will be. Yes, you will always be on his mind. It is as though he went to the restroom during intermission. I want to comfort you. I have lost many loved ones. I do not want to repeat that pain but there is no alternative. So I will do it again gladly and sadly as I have over and over. The comforting part is that we cannot remember
      these "Intermissions". I have no idea whatsoever why this is. Can I add a 13 or a zero to that clock face. Probably not. Willy wrote a beautiful song I wonder if he would believe that he has written it many times before as he will many times again and again. The future is ours to be.

      He was definitely the chosen 1 for this song. As a kid growing up, I always loved all of his songs. But, nobody will ever match or better Willie's version of this one. I've always believed that the best person to sing this on a tribute album would be his son. Lukas Nelson. He's the one who has the closest voice to his Dad's. I'd love to hear Lukas record his version of this song.

    • @Penn_chill

      That's what I've always thought loved so much about Willie's music. His band/recording artists, no matter what song or era are always superb, but they never take away from Willie's unique voice and interpretation, yet he never seems to try to be the "star". Forget autotunes and screaming amplifiers and synthesizers, they don't need it, and we get to enjoy the results.

Little things I should have said and done. That’s the truth. Yes, you were always on mind. But that’s never enough for the other. It’s action they want. So a song like this will haunt me bc it’s real. It’ll take me a long time to get in a good place of acceptance. Never forget is key. Always show her and the little things count.

    Reading the comments -- it's amazing how this song has spoken to people in their own lives. Seems to me that the definition of art is that the artist puts art out there and people respond, not to the art itself (e.g., "What a nice song") but rather how the art completes something in their life to provide expression that perhaps they couldn't have done without it.

    The first time I heard Willie Nelson sing this, it hit me so hard. We have been married for 56 years and now he is in the final stages of Alzheimer’s. We had lots of ups and downs in our marriage 😢. The ups kept us together through the downs, but now that he is towards the end, I feel I should have done more for our relationship, as Willie Nelson sang.
    Today could possibly be the beginning of the end. Then I went to this song and @Robert stein, yours was the comment that showed. It was a message that God wanted me to see. It’s been a year for you. If you get a chance to see my comment, May Peace Be With You.

    "Always on My Mind" is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first recorded by Brenda Lee and first released by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in March 1972. Lee's version was released three months later in June 1972
